The book covers practical topics ranging from greetings, introductions, time, phone calls, meals, health, directions, safety, shopping, and travel to comparisons, pastimes, and weddings. Each dialogue is paired with language notes that explain grammar and intonation patterns, cross-reference related structures, and suggest examples for drill-based practice, supported by audio materials.","Editor  Dean Curry  \nDIALOGS FOR EVERYDAY USE  \nShort Situational Dialogs for Students of English as a Foreign  \nLanguage  \nDIALOGS FOR EVERYDAY USE  \nShort Situational Dialogs for Students of English as a Foreign  \nJULIA M .
